What is the curriculum?
Curriculum for Excellence is Scotland’s curriculum for children and young people aged 3-18. It’s an approach designed to provide young people with the knowledge, skills and attributes they need for learning, life and work in the 21st century.
It aims to enable every child or young person to be a:
- Successful learner
- Confident individual
- Responsible citizen
- Effective contributor.
There are five curriculum levels – Early, First, Second, Third and Fourth – in the Broad General Education (from early years to the end of S3).
